Email Communications

Why am I not receiving email communication from RMFW?

New members are added to our email distribution list as soon as they create an account on Cvent, our membership and event management website. You will receive emails right away. Some reasons for not receiving emails are provided below:

1. Some email providers are extra stringent with mass communications emails such as the emails RMFW sends to members and subscribers.

First check your Spam folder. If you find our communications there, mark the email as 'not spam' and you should receive future emails in your inbox. You may have to do this a few times.

Add communications@rmfw.org to your contact list. This tells your email provider that you trust the sender.

If you still do not receive our emails, understand that we cannot stop email providers from rejecting emails from the email campaign provider we use. Your only alternative may be to receive emails from us at another email address or use our websites and social media sites to find out about RMFW news and events.

2. If you unsubscribed at any point from RMFW email, you put yourself on our 'Do Not Mail' list. Contact membership@rmfw.org to once again receive emails.

3. If you are still not receiving emails after addressing 1 and 2 above, email communications@rmfw.org for additional assistance.

NOTE: Some email providers will still not accept mass emails. Know that all of the information we distribute via email is also available on our websites and via our social media sites. See the Home page for all up to date announcements.

How do I change the email address at which I receive emails from RMFW?

2. On the left side of the page, enter your email address and password.

NOTE: See ‘I can’t log in. How do I reset my password?’ above if you need to reset your password.

3. Click on the My Profile tab, then click on the Edit button.

4. At the top of the page, set ‘Display my information in contact directories’ to 'Yes.'

5. Click the Update button to save your profile changes.

6. Verify that your information is included the Members Directory tab. If it's not, contact membership@rmfw.org.

How do I remove myself from the Members Directory?

The RMFW Members Directory only includes members who choose to have their information in the directory. Refer to the instructions in the previous question and set ‘Display my information in contact directories’ to 'No' to remove yourself from the list.

RMFW 2014 Anthology: Crossing ColfaxPlayboy magazine once called Colfax Avenue “the longest, wickedest street in America.” Over one hundred years ago, it was the main road into and out of the city. East Colfax was the address to have for many of the city’s elite, and West Colfax was a trail that led to the mountains and dreams of Gold Rush riches. We invite you to explore Colfax Avenue – its past, present, or future. Its greatest moments, real or imaginary, and its darkest secrets. More Info
